Introduction: Harriet Zilch and Ludwig Seyfarth
The exhibition Homebase features images, projections, documentations and displays of rooms. Photographs, drawings, films and spatial installations are to be seen, but – aside from the visitors – seldom humans are present within them. Some of these interiors were discovered and captured as spatial ensembles in their specific atmosphere using photographic means. They convey an idea of the people that live or lived in them, their particular preferences, their social status and cultural context. Next to this are interiors, which were fictionally conceived by the artists, then built in real and documented, or which mark distinct spatial segments within the exhibition space. Quite frequently the boundary between the private and the public sphere is up for debate, which – especially in times of social media – is not necessarily congruent with that between the inner and outer space. By the act of displaying or concealing, political aspects of living are being examined and functions of today’s living space are critically questioned.
A catalogue has been published by Kerber.
The exhibition is a cooperation with Kunsthalle Nürnberg.
